Not the most exciting video, but this is where a good dog starts.

Working on getting Harvi soft through his rib. When he’s soft, he can move around his sheep however the job needs him to.

The more he gets confident in this skill now, the easier it’s gonna be for him down the road. 💯

People ask me all the time how long it takes to make a good dog. Truth is, it depends on the dog. Some catch on fast and some take a lot longer, and that's okay. I'd rather take my time and have one that's broke than rush it and have to fix it later.

What to take a second to shoutout and congratulate Mark Weatherston and his dog Switch.

They ended up 4th in the SWCDA Novice Finals this past weekend. Very cool considering Mark has only worked Switch a handful of times and then going up against older seasoned dogs, and Switch coming straight off his debut at the Futurity.

This is what it’s all about to me, trying to get a dog broke and trained enough someone else can grab them and go be successful.

Great job guys!

Pressure shows you what a dog really is.

New cattle, new arena, a lot going on. That’s when you find out if your dog is really broke or not. Switch is, and that’s what all the work at home is for.

We’re ready for the next one.

Not the result I wanted this week, and I’m hard on myself about the mistake. But I left with a lot more than a score.

That dog is broke and trained. He walked out of the arena happy, his owner is excited about him, and I got compliments from trainers I really respect. I also got to eat supper with my boys every night this week and spend it with some of my closest friends.

The last couple of years were rough on me. They knocked me down, but they made me stronger, and I’ve never felt more supported than I do now. Today I got to show my boys how to handle a mistake and keep your head up.

It’s easy to get so focused on the small results that we miss the big wins happening right in front of us. This week was a big win. 👊🏻

You don't get to pick your cattle. You just have to be ready for whatever comes out.

That's what all the work at home is for. Switch and I are up for our last run at the Southwest Cattledog Association Futurity in Vernon today. 🔥

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

I bought Shadow off another trainer who was done with her, and she turned out to be as powerful a dog as there is. She was never really bitey, but she was extremely bold and walked into cattle insanely strong when she was tuned up. And she’s about as tough as they come. 🔥

She’s retired now, but I brought her out today just to blow some air.

A good ranch dog doesn't just save you time, he saves you help.

When I can send a dog to gather a pasture or hold a gate, that's one less person I need horseback. That's what I'm building in every dog that comes through here. Broke enough to trust, with enough fire to get it done. 👊🏻
